CONNED: UConn Basketball Team Face Theft, Filthy Rooms In Las Vegas

When people visit to Las Vegas, they should leave with great memories, a great story to tell and hopefully more money than when they arrived (but that seldom happens). Unfortunately that is not the experience the UConn Men's College Basketball team has had during their stay in Las Vegas. Their rooms were reportedly filthy. Their team bus was burglarized. It's less than ideal.

The "March Madness" began Tuesday when UConn arrived in Las Vegas ahead of their Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship.

The team was reportedly assigned the Luxor Hotel & Casino for their rooms. It makes sense, the property is a quick trip from T-Mobile Arena where the games are being played. But while the Luxor's light is incredibly bright, the scene inside of the rooms was reportedly dim.

According to CT Insider and other sources, some of the rooms the team was staying in were in terrible condition. The publication says the rooms looked like a scene from the Las Vegas based comedy The Hangover. "Dirt, vomit ... and worse," the publication wrote. The team was able to, with help from the NCAA and the fact that the city has about a billion other hotel rooms, relocate to Resorts World. Upgrade. Sweet.

A bad situation got worse the next day. After their wonderful and hopefully restful sleep at Resorts World, they headed to UNLV for practice. According to the Review-Journal, while they were inside their buss was burglarized. Several items were stolen there and Las Vegas Metro is reportedly investigating.

With all of that trouble in mind, it's worth noting the UConn Huskies steamrolled over Arkansas in their Sweet 16 matchup, 88-65. They play Gonzaga in the Elite 8 on Saturday. Things are going right where it matters.

This week on Aimee+Shawn has been all about contrast. Shawn's family was out of town all week, giving him the house all by himself mostly., Meanwhile Aimee started the week having recovered from having seven teen boys sleep over. May God have mercy on her soul (and her toilet bowl).

Speaking of family, it's everything to Aimee. Family, and pettiness. So when some other family cut hers in line, and then laughed about it, Aimee made sure to get the last word. Over, and over, and over again.

Shawn has drawn a line in the sand when it comes to sharing food. Seems like everywhere he turns, people either want his food or want to order exactly what he orders. Wife wants to pick, sons want his fries, dog wants the chicken on his plate and his father cannot and will not order until Shawn does. All he wants to do is enjoy his meal in peace!

This was a very special week, because Aimee's first born, Jayden, turned 15. Moms, make sure you grab Kleenex before you watch her read the letter she wrote to her son. It's a tear-jerker.

Shawn recalls the first (and only) time he ever got drunk in time for St. Patrick's Day. While Aimee has lost count of her drunk stories, Shawn got drunk for science in his mid-20s in what can only be described as the biggest crime to alcohol in human history. Crème. Brulee. Vodka. Who would even choose that?!

Being away from the family meant Shawn missed "a first" for the kids: playing bowling. It's something Shawn has wanted to do with the kids for a bit, but he didn't get the opportunity to see it through before it happened without him. Now he's a bit miffed about it.

How about TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS?! We've got the final pairs we've been holding onto before the big concert this weekend! Plus, win your way in to Aimee's next W.I.N.O.S. event that will have the ladies going to see Barry Manilow at Westgate Las Vegas! Manilow and Merlot... how can you go wrong?

Aimee's son Jayden had a bunch of friends over for a sleepover and it may have broken the Geneva Convention.

Shawn has been alone all week and has taken to cleaning a ton of areas around the house while he has some peace and quiet. Three junk drawers. THREE.

Driving down West Cactus Avenue is a lesson in patience. Sure, much narrower roads go much faster. But not this one. And there'll be plenty of Metro motorcycle cops ready to remind you.

There is no such thing as a "fun game"... when they play, they play to win and dunk on their family and friends.

If you know anything about Aimee, she's petty. She's Queen Petty. But even you would be miffed about how this line-cutting took place.

If you WANTED fries you should have ORDERED fries. Aimee's husband Patrick has to deal with the same thing with Aimee's hungry hands.

It was one of the most amazing shows of its time. But once producers found a certain formula, they never got away from it. Hint: the formula is alcoholism.

Things have been so screwed up over the last several years that some shows and movies, once thought too bleak and implausible, seem like they are going to happen tomorrow to Aimee.

Shawn's dad is in town and isn't known to be a huge fan of animals. Shawn has realized he doesn't know how to talk to dogs and instead, he's talking in full paragraphs to his dog Pesky.

It is Jayden's 15th birthday, and it has Aimee looking back at her journey as his mom. Grab the Kleenex. You're going to need it.

It's one of the slimiest things you can do. Order food, get served and treated well, and then just walk out on the bill. It happened in front of Shawn and he's grossed out.

Yet another episode of "Aimee has difficult with the English Language"...

Some people wash them like they'd wash any other piece of clothing, but Shawn seldom ever washes his jeans. And don't get us started on bed sheets.

Aimee loves IKEA. But she just got a thing in the mail inviting her to be a part of a class action lawsuit against them. Will she take the bait?

The two shared their worst "getting drunk" stories... and Shawn only has one. But he made it count.

Aimee's dog is a sweetheart with a big bark and a huge fear of the groomer.

As a parent you want to be there for all of your kids firsts. Shawn missed one and now he's a little upset at his wife for not giving him the option first.

What began as a fun little fact finding segment slowly progressed into insanity.

Well, it happened. After 31 years, the Labrador Retriever has officially been dethroned from it's extremely comfortable spot as the most popular dog breed in the United States. According to the American Kennel Club, a newcomer to the #1 spot is to blame. For the first time in history, the super cute and super wrinkly French Bulldog has been named the US' favorite dog breed. And honestly, it's about time.

Now, don't get me wrong. We still love the sweet Labrador Retriever as well. But there's so much to love about French Bulldogs. As a Frenchie owner, I've seen and experienced all of the benefits myself, and it seems America has started to figure out just how fabulous and beneficial the breed is as well.

French Bulldogs are perfect for any individual who is seeking a furry friend that can fit into their lifestyle. For real - For a breed that is stereotyped to be stubborn, French Bulldogs are actually very adaptive to their environments.

French Bulldogs are small but mighty when it comes to size. They’re just the right size for apartment living, as they don’t take up too much space or require too much exercise (which is great if you live in an area with limited outdoor space). And because they don’t need a lot of exercise, they can easily be taken on short walks around your block or even carried around in your handbag!

Unlike other breeds, Frenchies don’t need frequent grooming or bathing. That means you won’t have to spend hours brushing their fur every day or scheduling regular trips to the groomer. They do shed seasonally, but not nearly as much as other breeds. So vacuuming your carpets and furniture should become part of your regular cleaning routine, but dog owners everywhere know that this is already a necessity with practically any breed.

French Bulldogs are also incredibly loving and loyal pets. They love being around their owners at all times and enjoy cuddling up on the couch with them after a long day (or a short day, they're not picky). They also love playing games with their owners. Whether it’s fetch or tug of war, these little pups will happily entertain you all day long! And since they’re so friendly and easy going, they get along with people of all ages and make great family pets!

While I could go on and on about how fabulous this dog breed is, I think the photos below will best show exactly why the French Bulldog has secured the top spot...

I speak from personal experience. Frenchies are the best WFH sidekick.

Enough said.

This breed will live on your lap the vast majority of the time.

Seriously. Frenchies have the best temperament.

It seems like every French Bulldog loves flowers. Just an observation. A super cute observation.

They LOVE to play.

They also LOVE to sleep.

Most French Bulldogs are small enough to fit in a bag or large purse, even when they're full grown!

Unconditionally and eternally. Your forever sidekick.
